Had some time to kill and went and saw this today. What can I say I have always been a sucker for mockumentaries, always been that way since I saw "This is Spinal Tap" many moons ago.
Yeah I'll pretty much say what everyone else has been saying about the movie. The animation and character designs looked great and the actors did a good job in their roles, Jeff Bridges, Brian Posehn, Diedrich Bader and Mario Cantone's characters were the highlights of the film IMHO.
As for the story yeah it's the same kind of believe in your self/never give in and that all jazz message that's been in several family films before hand, but at least here it's got the mock-documentary narrative going for it, so it gives the story a more laid back feel and the message didn't feel forced or heavy handed.
So all in all it was a good way to kill an hour and a half.
